On the twenty-ffth birthday of Will

The 1O0-foot boulevard, which is
now being graded along the foothills,
is within a few miles of Santa

The workmen in the tunnel at Onta-
rio recently struck a stream of water
of such size as to interfere seriously
with their work. After several at
tempts to advance at that point it has
been found necessary to make de-
tour, preparing in advance for cross

the work is being pushed vigorously.
The tunnel is now about 175 feet be-
yond the upper shaft, and the amount
Of water that is coming in is simply
astounding. At the face the stream

river. Every stroke of the pick in

it is naturally fruit country. This is
true of all portions of this county,
where many tons go to waste annual
". The establishment of canneries
in various parts of the county would
be the means of effecting great saw
